Yankees vs Red Sox Prediction & Pick
The Yankees will look to bounce back with Clarke Schimdt on the mound. The 27-year-old has been disappointing in his first season a a member of the starting rotation, though, as he has logged a 4.70 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across 14 starts. The Yankees have lost four straight games started by Schmidt.
The Red Sox will counter by handing the ball to Brayan Bello, who is 3-4 on the year with a 3.78 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 10 starts. The second-year pro is enjoying a great stretch of work considering he has allowed less than 3 earned runs in seven of his last eight st arts. Boston is 5-3 in that stretch.
Keep in mind no one on the Yankees current roster has ever hit a home run against Bello, while three players on the Red Sox roster have gone yard against Schmidt before. The pitching advantage is too notable to overlook here and makes backing Boston to emerge victorious the way to go at Fenway.
Final Score Prediction:'Yankees: 3 | Red Sox: 5
Yankees vs Red Sox Best Bet
The Yankees are undoubtedly struggling at the plate as of late. They have been held to 4 runs or les s in seven of their last 10 games overall and are averaging a putrid 2.4 runs over their last five games against the Red Sox. Not only that, but Boston has held its opponent to 4 runs or less in five of the last six games started by Bello. This does not line up as the time for New York's bats to wake up.
